Actually Terry, it won't. There is a patch to pcisupport.c that I had to apply to get my 0new ZNYX 314s to work correctly. I'm not sure if Matt Thomas committed the changes, but I've been running them (and the if_de drivers) for more than a month. Lars, I think Matt Thomas is @ IETF this week, so I can get you the patches that I'm running... They might fix your problem. You will also want to be running -stable. > But enough about you... tell us about this passive backplane system; > we were just discussing this as an "ideal design" on the SMP list. I've got a dream of getting a 20 slot monster and running 4 to 10 single processor machines in it as a front end machine cluster. I don't think I'll be able to justify it for a while though. (Hummm... Maybe a web-farm box...) Just think, one of these boxes and a rack full of rack-mounted drive enclosures. (Hey! Newsserver farm!) I'll dream on and stuff. Have a good one. | Matthew N.
